  and 
  outline 
  of 
  the 
  laws 
  derived 
  both 
  empirically 
  and 
  theoret- 
  

   ically. 
  These 
  laws 
  are 
  stated 
  in 
  words 
  and 
  expressed 
  in 
  mathe- 
  

   matical 
  form, 
  but 
  the 
  proofs 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  second 
  

   volume, 
  as 
  yet 
  unpublished. 
  The 
  second 
  and 
  principal 
  division 
  

   of 
  the 
  present 
  volume 
  consists 
  of 
  tables 
  of 
  data 
  pertaining 
  to 
  the 
  

   distillation 
  of 
  mixtures 
  of 
  liquids. 
  The 
  individual 
  tables 
  of 
  this 
  

   division 
  refer 
  respectively 
  to 
  binary 
  mixtures 
  and 
  azeotropism 
  

   of 
  the 
  first 
  kind, 
  to 
  azeotropic 
  binary 
  mixtures 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  spe- 
  

   cies, 
  to 
  ternary 
  systems, 
  and 
  to 
  quaternary 
  systems. 
  The 
  third 
  

   division 
  is 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  bibliography 
  of 
  the 
  special 
  field 
  of 
  

   research. 
  The 
  author 
  lists 
  are 
  given 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  alphabetical 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  chronological 
  order. 
  The 
  first 
  volume 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  

   a 
  thesaurus 
  of 
  information 
  and 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  of 
  great 
  practical 
  

   value 
  to 
  experimental 
  physical 
  chemists.

   (Maurice 
  Lamertin). 
  — 
  During 
  the 
  past 
  twenty 
  years 
  the 
  author 
  

   usually 
  devoted 
  one 
  hour 
  every 
  evening 
  to 
  recreative 
  reading 
  

   and 
  to 
  jotting 
  down 
  quotations 
  which 
  struck 
  him 
  as 
  valuable 
  or 
  

   remarkable. 
  At 
  the 
  suggestion 
  of 
  an 
  eminent 
  scientist 
  (not 
  

   named) 
  the 
  author 
  was 
  induced 
  to 
  publish 
  the 
  present 
  volumi- 
  

   nous 
  collection 
  of 
  choice 
  "Pensees." 
  The 
  material 
  has 
  been 
  

   classified 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  its 
  great 
  diversity 
  permits, 
  and 
  the 
  key 
  words 
  

   for 
  each 
  general 
  division 
  are 
  given 
  in 
  alphabetical 
  order 
  at 
  the 
  

   tops 
  of 
  the 
  pages. 
  The 
  quotations 
  have 
  been 
  gleaned 
  from 
  

   many 
  languages 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  occasionally 
  presented 
  in 
  their 
  

   original 
  (untranslated) 
  form. 
  The 
  entire 
  domain 
  of 
  human 
  

   thought 
  has 
  been 
  searched 
  as 
  with 
  a 
  fine-toothed 
  comb, 
  and 
  the 
  

   endeavor 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  eliminate 
  all 
  personal 
  bias, 
  so 
  that 
  

   some 
  quotations 
  are 
  given 
  which 
  express 
  thoughts 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  

   author 
  does 
  not 
  approve. 
  The 
  main 
  list 
  of 
  11,000 
  pensees 
  is 
  fol- 
  

   lowed 
  by 
  a 
  subject 
  index, 
  an 
  author 
  index, 
  and 
  a 
  supplementary 
  

   collection 
  of 
  "important" 
  pensees. 
  Whenever 
  possible, 
  each 
  

   quotation 
  is 
  followed 
  by 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  its 
  author, 
  and 
  the 
  dates 
  

   of 
  the 
  author's 
  birth 
  and 
  death. 
  The 
  collection 
  is 
  unique 
  and, 
  — 
  

   for 
  purposes 
  of 
  reference, 
  inspiration, 
  and 
  education, 
  — 
  of 
  inesti- 
  

   mable 
  value. 
  This 
  notice 
  may 
  be 
  appropriately 
  concluded 
  by 
  

   giving 
  two 
  typical 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  pensees 
  :
